Can You Keep a Secret? (Luhan Fanfic)

Chapter 9: Not His Girlfriend/ Not Her Boyfriend

"I can't do this anymore! I need a break!" Baekhyun exclaimed, shutting his textbook and shoving it to the side of his desk. After working for 4 hours on calculus homework, he decided that it was a good time to go to the cafeteria and get a snack.

"Hi Baekhyun, are you busy?" Dahae said as Baekhyun flung his dorm door open.

"Uhh, I was just gunna head to the cafeteria and take a break from homework. Do you wanna join me?" Baekhyun asked, receiving a delightful nod from Dahae.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Baekhyun said, taking a bite of his kimbap.

Dahae played with her fingers as she sat across the table from Luhan's bestfriend. "I was just wondering...you know how you said Luhan likes me?"

Baekhyun slowly wiped a napkin across his face and nodded, "Mhm..."

"Well I kind of just wanted advice, since you're the one who knows him the best," Dahae took a quick sigh before continuing with her question, "Is Luhan the type of guy who would ask the girl out first?"

At that point Baekhyun started sweating. He just made up the fact that Luhan liked Dahae because he didn't know what other reason to give for Luhan switching out of her classes. But now Dahae actually believes this lie.

"Uh...well you know how quiet he is. He isn't the type to do that."

"What do you think I should do then? Should I ask if he wants to hang out with me sometime?"

Baekhyun gritted his teeth, "Do you...like Luhan?"

The sudden question from Baekhyun startled Dahae. She rubbed her forearm and answered softly, "Mmmm. I might."

"Does he like you?"

Dahae met eyes with Baekhyun and stared at him with confusion, "Yes? That's what you said, right?"

Baekhyun formed an "O" with his mouth, "Rrrrright. I did say that."

Suddenly Dahae stood up from the table. "Maybe I will just ask him if he wants to hang out with me some time. I mean, we have hung out a few times after school already."

Luhan is going to hate me for this. I have to say something. "Wait. I don't really think he has time to hang out. Or for a girlfriend. He's really busy you know? School, work, taking care of Haru."

Dahae saw where Baekhyun was coming from. She crossed her arms and thought for a second, "Well I can just ask him when he will have his next off day and we can plan something then. I'll see you later Baek," Dahae smiled and happily headed out the cafeteria.

"I'll be right back with your waters," Luhan finished writing down the customer's order and heard the door of the restaurant open, signaling him to greet more customers. "Hello, how many?"

"Hi Luhan," Dahae curiously came into the restaraunt and waved.

Luhan's face fell and placed the notepad in his back pocket. "How did you know where I work?"

"I asked Baekhyun."

"I'll kill him for this too," Luhan thought to himself.

"Well is it something important? I have to head to the back," Luhan tried getting away from Dahae.

"Oh you're right, I'm sorry. I'll just be waiting here then." Luhan looked at Dahae as she took a seat at a table, allowing him to go back to work. Once he came out from the kitchen, holding customers' orders, he saw Dahae still in the same spot and sipping on a vanilla shake.
